San Diego On-Road Racing
 

Bring our your on roads this sunday to discount hobbies for parking lot racing. We have the road rail system, But do not have a transponder system(soon Though), so we are hand counting, you can call the shop for more information at (858) 560-9633 ask for Jon the car guy. or post here and i will reply

-Jon P

is it bring your own tent/table/power

yes it is

racing this sunday?

Time? Classes?

yes we are racing this sunday the track will be set up by 8am so practice starts about then then racing starts at 10

What classes do you run?
Or is it just open racing?

Are there any plans for lap counting other than hand? It would make it a lot more fun for the drivers when they know how fast they went or their lap times.

Almost sounds like a glorified parking lot race but it would be something to consider.

it all depends who shows up we plan to run 19turn and mod, yes lipo batteries are allowed

there are plans in the future, but the owner wants to see how big of a turnout we have before spending a considerable amount of money on a lap counting system.

What classes will be run? Is it electric only or will there also be some gas classes?

I will be traveling to SD in September and I'm curious if there will be some nitro racing.

Thanks,

if there is enough people with 1/10 gas then we will run them, but right now it's mostly electric.

What up John!

Just wanted ask what time the shop is able to sell things, cuz i want some tire traction asap. Can't get beat my local guys! You Know:sneaky:

Saw you up at barona, eighth scale coming into the arsenal?:sneaky:

i have access to the shop at 6am so i could run it out back for you, i just might have an 8IGHTH scale in the works.

Hey Frank and DHW crew,

Thanks for putting on some good ol fashion parking lot racing! Turn out was pretty good for it being only the 2nd race. The location has a lot of potential and you can't beat that cool coastal breeze.

I had a good time and will be back for more.

Billy- it was fun runnin with you in practice! It really helped me dial in my car for the heats.

Had a good time! that mod main was fun to watch

I'll try to make it next time... and i'll bring my 18th scale also.
Comic-Con is that weekend too so I might be there instead.........

i appreciate you guys coming out. the next races will be july 29th.

-Jon

I think I'm going to come out this Sunday. Anyone have a generator and shade I can mooch?

I'll try to make it out. I miss racing on road. What tires were being used?

Had a blast on sunday, good turn-out.

I'm going to bring my 18r to run w/ the 18's, ALL STOCK so look out turbo BOB.

Mike, you going to be able to make the next one, cuz i know you want redemption after almost lapping the field, and then...:eek: What did you break anyway?

Kerr Discount is trying an every other weekend schedule.( Next race, sunday after next)

Bummer. :( I'll be out of town for that one. (But I'll be in Vegas so it's OK. :D )Maybe next time then.

Would it be ok to park along those garages and use my truck bed as a drivers stand if theres enough room?

That looks pretty good.. Nice size.. Good to see Chuck Leslie out there..

When I came around to lap a big pack of cars I, they or we crashed and the servo horn alignment skipped a tooth (alloy servo horn with a plastic insert :mad: arggh). oh well- dems da breaks- literally! Yes- I plan to try my luck again:D Too much fun.

Hi Jon,
Would be great to have a pipe or board barrier in front of the driver stand area. A car launched right into my foot in the main....OUCH!! And maybe set it about 2 feet away from the track so that all the drivers stand back from the track so that you can see the left and right corners without someones radio blocking your view;)

Unless of coarse veejay brings his driver stand!

i apprreciate the suggestions. i will try to get a piece of plywood to use as a barrier for the drivers stand and the end of the straight.

so what is the best tire/insert combo to use?

http://www.ampdraw.com/product.php?a...productid=3075 :nod:

I know DHW has Sorex 36 in stock

price for 4?

Yup. If you put together your own tires make sure you use very thin inserts. The air gap creates more grip.

Mike, are those Speedmind inserts similar to a Yokomo 039F or 039M like we usd to run at SoCal?

Hey Jon- not sure. Been years since I've ran at socal so I don't have any yoke inserts. I'm sure the yokomos would work perfect from what I remember they were like rubber bands..

im gonna buy an mi3 in about 3 weeks...so watch out fellas

do a lot of people run 1/12th scale?

Now you're talking. :sneaky::cool:

i was talking about you kerr...im coming after ur sponsorship!:lol::lol::lol:

So he's perfectly safe then right? :ha::ha::ha:

exactly

Next race?

i havent seen anyone with 1/12 scale, the next race is the 29th

1/12 scale on a parking lot would be tough. You need a very smooth, clean, and flat surface to run 1/12 scale on. I have a dialed CRC 3.2r carpet knife, but it's setup for the rug. (If I ever get back on the rug that is.) Don't really want to take it out onto the asphalt and tear it up. It's too purdy as a carpet car. :cool: ;)
